[b]@-Ace-[/b]: Ireth is a good character. An elven archer/healer. I'll keep her in mind because these types of characters tend to work well in groups.

[b]@teapotshark[/b]: Aveline Ronan's search for her brother ties her to the story very good; to her, this quest is more personal than the others, and the history clearly shows how close the two siblings were.

[b]@Arsenal[/b]: I would say gold coins. 'Coins' is an appropriate term for the moment. The Heartlands are more or less a melting pot of various cultures and races, so it's also not uncommon for their to be be various forms of currency. Serkan Stahlwurm's history, like Aveline Ronan's (teapotshark) also ties him into the story nicely, and I will keep an eye on him.

[b]@Athinar[/b]: I like Athinar Da' Danash's wizard-like nature, and I think he'd be a great addition to the team (and that picture is pretty cool). And his skills to read magical languages has given me a few ideas for him in the roleplay (stuff that only he can read). 

[b]@Diggerton[/b]: A young adventurer who will be entering Valuun Keep, Leon Thorne is an appropriate character.

[b]@thegreenleafe[/b]: Arkadi Vasile would be referred to as a 'Varan' in this world. I didn't explain much of the setting in the OOC, but this is part of a much larger world. Far to the north across the Frozen Sea lies Asgeir, the homeland of the Varan - who are very similar to the 'northerners' mentioned in Arkadi's post. This axe-men is a worthy addition to the team, especially since he reminds me of the Varan from Asgeir. However, keep in mind their is no village outside of the Keep - only NightRaven Inn which sits a little ways away from it.

[b]@Rusalka[/b]: I like Nariah Stormblade, except I don't like the fact she's 17. I don't feel a human can use [i]proper[/i] swordsmanship skills, much less be an expert in archery and horseback riding at the age of 17. Nariah would be deemed a prodigy in my book. I'm not saying it's impossible, but I don't think Nariah's age-to-skill ratio is consistent, and as such I would ask that you make her a little older, or change some skills.

[b]@Apokalipse[/b]: Dasmira Oratonis is a good character and her trident-ropedart combination is something I haven't yet seen in a roleplay and I think it will be interesting. Although, from what I can tell, she isn't as proficient in open-combat as the other characters - which is fine though.

[b]@Cryptiic[/b]: Sorry to hear that, hope to see you around.

[b]@Everyone[/b]: That's 8 characters; 8 very [i]great[/i] characters I must say. I'm sort of beating myself up because I kind of want to accept all 8 of them.... there's technically only 2 other RPers who have a reserved spot, making that a total of 10 (what with Cryptiic dropping out). Assuming we get those 2 other bios, I think I'll accept all 10 of you (*gulps*).

[b]EDIT[/b]: And how do I change the thread title please?
